ECMWF Code for Earth 2023

ECMWF Code for Earth is an innovation programme run by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Its aim is to drive innovation and open source developments in the Earth sciences community - supporting developments in weather and climate, the two Copernicus services (Copernicus Climate Change Service and Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) and Destination Earth.

Since 2018, each summer, up to ten developer teams work together with experienced mentors from ECMWF and partner organisations on innovative projects. These projects are related to the broad scope of activities at ECMWF, including data science, weather, climate or other earth sciences, visualisation and more.

How it works

1. Call for Participation: 1 Mar - 12 Apr 2023

Browse through the Code for Earth challenges, ask questions and together with the mentors, tailor your proposal. Submit your proposal by 12 April 2023.

2. Announcement of selected proposals: 27 Apr 2023

The selected Code for Earth 2023 project teams will be announced on 27 Apr 2023.

3. Coding phase: 2 May - 31 Aug 2023

The four-month long coding period starts on 02 May 2023 and ends on 31 August 2023. During this time, the selected teams will work with their Code for Earth mentors. These are experts in earth sciences like weather, climate and climate change, atmosphere and air quality or in technology areas like AI/ML, cloud computing, applied data science or open source software development.

4. Final Code for Earth day: 20 September 2023

The Code for Earth day is a celebratory completion of the programme. This year the event will be hosted at the ECMWF's data centre in Bologna, Italy. Teams will be invited to present their project results.

Successfully completed projects will receive a €5,000 stipend.
